I don't see anyone "jumping the bandwagon". This is an overstatement. Based on the design of the intake, it certainly has potential. Out of curiosity, what is your idea of a "godsend" regarding intakes? What intake out there not only performs well, but has no drawbacks? Enquiring minds want to know.

I see a lot of people jumping the bandwagon. Just read through this thread. I mean to each his own. It just seems like history repeating itself. I am not saying this intake is going to suck nor am I saying it is going to blow everything else out of the water. I am simply saying we need to see tests (whether it be 1/4 mile, dyno, etc.).
I do not believe there is a "godsend" when it comes to intakes for our car. Honda has given us a pretty well tuned car from the factory, and the factory intake is designed nicely. This is why no intake has given significant gains without some kind of tuning mechanism (flashpro, cobb ap, etc). When it comes to intakes for cars there is a "point of diminishing returns" there is only so much power a specific car can make from a bolt-on intake.
So ultimately I am predicting this intake will be a benefit for those who are looking for a balance between a cold-air and a short ram intake. With this intake people will not have to fear hydrolocking as much as they would with a cai. I am willing to bet that the power improvement will be equal to or less than that of a cold air intake.
And also... I never said the x-intake was a bad intake I simply said it is not what everyone blew it up to be.
